the hollows - youngblood and august (video)

here are a couple of videos, one live, one a proper music video, from earnest brooklyn roots rockers the hollows (i wonder if they go so far as to pronounce that "the hollers"...i kind of hope not). These songs are filled with driving folk rock beats and exciting harmonies. the large membership of the band and horn arrangements on the live video bring that grandiose vision of americana reminiscent of bruce springsteen's pete seeger covers album.

i enjoy the visual conceit of the august video, where an old timey rube opens a jar which transports him to a frightening and magical world of folk-pop. learn more about the hollows' shows and releases, and stream more tracks and watch more videos, here at their website.
